Young journalists from Germany visit DPCU

On 14 October 2024, young journalists from Germany, visited the Dicastery for Promoting Christian Unity (DPCU) as part of a course run by the KNA-PROMEDIA-Foundation. They were accompanied by Dr Ute Stenert, Head of Strategic Development / Human Resources and Member of the Executive Board at Katholisches Medienhaus in Bonn.

In conversation with Fr Dr Augustinus Sander OSB, German official of the DPCU, they learned about the background and current challenges of international ecumenism, relating these issues to their own experiences within the German context.

The KNA-PROMEDIA-Foundation offers professional training to national and international journalists who focus on sharing knowledge about religions. The foundation's proximity to Germany's Catholic News Agency (KNA) enables it to address the issue of interreligious dialogue on a professional and well-connected level. Its proximity to the Catholic Church and other religious and faith communities ensures a well-founded transfer of knowledge on factual topics of interreligious life. The KNA has bureaux with staff correspondents in Rome and Jerusalem.
